Fantasy Faire 2021: Guardians

Aeon Events, LotD


Protector, guardian, warrior. We are all of these when we take a stand against Unweaver.


Aeon’s pose is Naissance II from XPOSEure (Fair Store in Peaville Goes Nuts)

I think that Fantasy Faire is about protection and about memory — we raise money to help end cancers, and we remember all those that we have lost along the way. Alia Baroque was inspired by this when he created Valhalla, the Fallen Gods-sponsored sim at the Fairegrounds. And appropriately, there have been a number of Norse-inspired outfits and poses that I’ve come across at the Fairegrounds.

Today I get to show you the very well-detailed Amnerystunic from .Viki.. Amnerys is perfect for a Viking or other medieval timeframe or roleplay. It comes in 8 different animal hide options, so you’re sure to find something that suits your look. I really liked the Dark Goat!


Aeon’s pose is Freyja 3 from Astalianda (Fair Store in Valhalla)

I needed a little something for my arms, so I found these wonderful bracers from the Breeze outfit from Blue Moon Enterprises. My other pieces here you’ve seen before: the Bow of Galadhrim from Unity Maxim, Mizu’s Raider Hatchet, and the Runar boots from R3D Studio


Aeon’s pose is Tauriel 3 from Poseidon Poses (Fair Store in Valhalla)

The Faire will be coming to a close this weekend… it’s always so hard to part with such a magical place. It’s more than a shopping event, it’s a community event. I hope that you have had the opportunity to enjoy it. If not.. there’s still time!

Fantasy Faire 2020: An intruder in the shadows

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’aono! Aloha my friends, Happy Saturday!

My heart is a little heavy with the closing of The 2020 Fantasy Faire this weekend. The Faire… is many things to many people, but to me it is a coming-together of friends, of not-yet friends, of spirits in a common goal to create, to share, to try to make the world a better, brighter place.

I had one last set of products from the Faire to share with you. This is Ninja from Sakka’s Studio. Sakka has an amazing number of beautiful Japanese-inspired outfits, and her Ninja is perhaps the most amazing I’ve seen in-world. It contains the suit, hood and mask (you can drop the mask by HUD control), gauntlets and shoes. The katana was my own addition! The outfit has a seven-colour hud that allows you to get exactly your own look.

If you haven’t gotten the chance to see the wonderful little vignettes/diaramas at the Fairlands Junction, you really really need to try to stop by and see them. I had to share the amazing work “A Chinese Proverb” by Fiona Fei. I just.. I can’t even begin to do it justice. I hope that she does not mind me slipping into it to be a part of the view… but I left my katana out of this one: I could not bear to bring violence into such a serene scene.


Aeon’s pose is The Raven 4 from Poseidon Poses

The Faire closes on Sunday, swallowed by the Mists for another year. Take heart, though, my friends… for Faire 2021 will open in under a year’s time… and I am quite sure that the builders and creators will begin long before then in preparation. In the meantime, come and share and enjoy and shop and give for one more day… and live in hope and peace for all the days that follow.

We keep the Faire in our hearts all the year long.

I wish you peace and joy and love! Aloha! A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2020: A Song of the Sun

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored


Aeon’s pose is I Stand for Peace from Luanes World

With dawn comes the Sun, comes light, comes hope. Sing of the light, of hope for a brighter day.

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’alua! Aloha my friends, Happy Tuesday!

Fantasy Faire is into its final week, but there are still wonderful treasures to find before it closes on Sunday, May 10.

I have some lovely treasures to share with you. My beautiful little skirt and top combo is The Bard Queen from MALified. This one is available as one of the Faire Quest gifts!

Behind me is a fun totem for your sim or parcel — The Song of the Sun from Spyralle. It’s part of a two-piece set: you’ll see The Song of the Moon in a few days.


Aeon’s pose is Let the Light Guide You from Luanes World

There is so much magic at the faire. The people, the common mission, it really is one of my favourite times of the year, and my favourite event in all of SL. I hope that you’ve had the chance to stop by and take a look!

I wish you peace and joy and love! Aloha! A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2020: Juniper

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

No matter your size, you can always surround yourself in beauty and light.


Aeon’s pose is The Ariel Series – One from an lar [poses]

Welina mai kākou! Hau’oli Pō’akahi! Aloha my friends, Happy Monday!

It’s a beautiful warm spring day, with hints of thunderstorms, and I’m flitting about the Fairgrounds. I’m always on the lookout for new outfits for my petite fae. I love the little Yabusaka petites, although I have the sad feeling that they’re kinda a dead-end product that is not really being developed these days. I have to admit, they have not aged particularly well in the era of bento faces, and the clothing manufacturers have not appeared to have developed much over the past few years.  Mind you, if rigging is carefully done, why can’t we just resize our favourite mesh bodies down to petite size???

All that said, I’m glad to show off a lovely outfit picked up here at Fantasy Faire 2020! The Juniper outfit from Starla at **DSO** is an adorable lovely little omega-applier tights and top with a flexi skirt. It’s cute and bright, and comes in a variety of colours!


Aeon’s pose is from an lar [poses]

The flexi skirt is not modifiable, so you can’t adjust the size. I found it to be slightly oversized in the waist for my Yabusaka 3.0 fae body, but I was able to adjust position enough that I was happy with the fit.


Aeon’s pose is The Ariel Series – Four from an lar [poses]

I hope you come and stop by the Faire.. There are beautiful treasures, big and little, everywhere you look!

Aloha kākou! A hui hou!

Fantasy Faire 2020: The Fiercest Storms

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

The fiercest storms may blow us off course… they may wreck our plans and break the keel, but hold on to the lines, and keep your course true.


Aeon’s pose is Loveliness #3 from K&S poses

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’aono! Aloha my friends, Happy Saturday!

There are all kinds of things to find at Fantasy Faire 2020! The beautiful Isle of Shadows is an amazing pirate and mer sim that you have to stop by and sea! (wink wink nudge nudge)


Aeon’s pose is Look Up! #1 from [Kikay] Poses

Belle Epoque brings you Anne, a wonderful piratey-themed outfit available in Maitreya and Legacy fitmesh. It’s a one-piece top/skirt/corset piece, with incorporated belt and pistol. The detail is really amazing!

The fiercest dragons may become the fiercest friends.


Aeon’s pose is Priestess 3 from Poseidon Poses

Hope comes from unexpected corners. It’s up to us to be the hope for others! Create hope by coming and shopping at the Faire, and take home little bits of magic for yourself.

Fantasy Faire 2020: Blooms of Hope

Aeon Events

The fae folk all come out to dance and sing… the Faire is here! We make our own hope in the midst of the darkness, we create it in ourselves by sharing it with others… and life blooms.


Aeon’s pose is Aquarius from Astalianda

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’alima! Aloha my friends, Happy Friday!

I am so excited for at Fantasy Faire 2020! There are 18 sims of beauty, 14 sims of shopping. I get to share some wonderful happies here today from the Queensgarden sim, perhaps my favourite sim so far. I suspect you’ll be seeing a lot more of this in my shoots over the next two weeks!

I have this wonderful fae outfit from MALified. Poison Ivy is a beautiful b&p set (or bikini, if you prefer?) with flowery accents in Maitreya fitmesh. The wings are static, but have a gentle flex motion to them, and the most beautiful materials! I want these in bento!


Aeon’s pose is Libra from Astalianda

The poses are also available at the fair from Astlandia: they’re a full set of poses, one for each constellation of the Zodiac, complete with mirrors. They’re sold in sets of three constellations each.

Be happy and healthy, my wonderful friends! And come to the Faire! It’s a beautiful joy just to walk around. Come help support the fight against cancer and make some wonderful memories in the process. The Faire takes on a life of its own: it’s the spirit of all those who create, who work, who share, who enjoy. Be a part of this!

Fantasy Faire 2019: A piece of a rainbow

Aeon Events, LotD, Places, Reviews

Consider this a ‘thank you’.  While I have a little stockpile of shots of the Fantasy Faire sims that I will post to flickr here over the next few days, this is probably the last set of product shots from the faire, the lovely petite from Fallen Gods that I picked up on the very last official day of the Faire.

This little one is the Garden Sprite from Fallen Gods.  Alia uses the Yabusaka petite as a base, and adds a skin with normal and PG versions, and a HUD with 6 facial/makeup variations.

Garden Sprite was a special for the Fantasy Faire, and to be honest, I’m not sure if we’ll see it in the shop or not.  But I couldn’t resist showing this, because to me, she is a little sparkle of sunshine, a dewdrop on an orchid.

Garden Sprite appears to be based off of Fallen Gods‘ Evolution series of skins, but the beautiful blue base is not available as a normal skin for normal avis at this point.  Mind you… I would love to be able to wear this on my normal avi!  Garden Sprite is complete, with hair and a little mesh bikini.  I swapped out for my own hair — this is Athena from Truth Hair, the unrigged/resizable version.  It works just perfectly.

Sprits’s wings are, unfortunately, unscripted.  They’re wonderfully textured with just the right hint of translucence.  I need to see if I can drop an animation script in there for a little flutter!

This little one is a piece of the rainbow, light diffracted and shining, a little bundle of colour… mischievous, laughing, hiding… sparkling.

As of yesterday, the tally for Fantasy Faire 2019 is just over L$17 million.  That’s USD$68,000.  Just… WOW.  People have come together from around the world to shop, to share, to support.  Maybe you weren’t thinking about the fight against cancer, and maybe you were.  Maybe you thought “well, I shouldn’t, but it’s for a good cause”… and you did.

On behalf of all of us, mahalo nui.  Thank you for everything!

 

Fantasy Faire 2019: The last huntress

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

As the gloaming draws in, thoughts turn to home…. to the warm fires, tasty foods, stories, friends, companionship.

  • Scarlet Fey — Elven Asym outfit (boots, coat, gauntlets, top, pants) for  Fantasy Faire 2019 (Maitreya Lara fitmesh only!)
  • Spyralle — Waverider Storm tattoo (face)
  • Poseidon Poses — The Raven 3 pose

The Fantasy Faire draws to a close this year, and despite being a week longer than previous years, it’s hard to believe it’s over.  I’ve tracked quarry across 16 faireground sims, and seen so many things, met so many people… and so many things I know I haven’t gotten to see.

But Fantasy Faire has done something amazing, and you have all done something amazing.  The goal was set to raise US$40,000 for the Relay for Life’s fight for a cure to cancers.  As of this morning, SL through Fantasy Faire has raised US$60,080  That’s over FIFTEEN MILLION LINDENS!

  • Foxcity — A Pretty Good Hair Day pose

I’m… I’m stunned.  I’m amazed.  No huntress could dare to bring home such a quarry.

Fantasy Faire 2019 is here through the end of Sunday.. then the sims will grow quiet, and dark, and fade into our memories.  Shining bright is the thought that we have made a difference, as a group… shining bright is the thought of next year…. shining bright is all the happiness shared, in the Faire and because of your generosity.

Truly, from the bottom of this one’s heart, mahalo nui kākou.

Fantasy Faire 2019: Malika

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

There is one more week of the magic of Fantasy Faire 2019 remaining, and still so many fun things to go and see.  This lovely dark gown is from God Mod, and has a perfect gothicky dark flair!

The shoulder pieces are unrigged mesh, and can be adjusted to your fit.  Earthstones‘s Phoenix Rising carried the spikey motif, and the reds seemed to echo the rust highlights in Malika.

There are so many wonderful things at Fantasy Faire, and every one helps contribute to the fight against cancer.  With 16 sims, you can always get in somewhere and have a look around.  Fantasy Faire 2019 is only here until May 5, and there is SO MUCH to see.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
